    Introduction

    Don Elkins: This book is an exact transcript from tape recordings of twenty-six sessions of an experiment designed to communicate with an extraterrestrialbeing. We started the experiment in 1962 and refined the process for nineteenyears. In 1981 the experimental results of our efforts changed profoundly in

    quality and precision. This book is simply a report of the beginning of thislatter phase of our work.

    Since our experimental work began, and even before we officially formed aresearch group, there was considerable confusion about the nature of ourresearch. I would like to state that I consider my point of view to be purelyscientific. Many readers of this material have used as a basis for itsevaluation a previously assumed philosophical bias which has ranged fromwhat I would call objectively scientific to subjectively theological. It is notthe purpose of our research group to attempt to do anything other thanmake experimental data available. Each reader will undoubtedly reach hisown unique conclusion about the meaning of this body of data.

    In recent years there has been much controversy about phenomena thatwere apparently incompatible with accepted methods of scientific research.This included such things as UFOs, mental metal-bending, psychic surgery,and many other seemingly miraculous happenings.

    To prove or disprove any of these alleged phenomena is certainly notproperly the task of the casual observer. However, most of the publicopinion that has been generated with respect to these events seems to be theproduct of quick and superficial investigation. After almost thirty years ofresearch and experimentation in the area of so-called paranormalphenomena, I must recommend extreme caution in reaching a conclusion.If it is possible to make money, gain notoriety, or have fun fromperpetrating a hoax, then someone usually does it. Consequently,

    paranormal or psychic areas are prime targets for the trickster, and thecareful researcher usually has to observe copious amounts of garbage datain order to find a possible imbedded gem of truth. This is especially true ofPhilippine psychic surgery and the large area of spirit communication ingeneral.

    It seems to me that the presently accepted scientific paradigm is less thanadequate. It is my opinion that our present natural philosophy is a veryspecial case of a much more general case yet to be unveiled. It is my hopethat our research is in the direction of this discovery. After assimilatingseveral million words of alleged extraterrestrial communication, it is also myopinion that this book and the subsequent volumes of the Ra material

    Introduction

    5

    contain the most useful information that I have discovered. As a result of allof this delving into the rather confusing subjects of UFOlogy andparapsychology, I, of course, have formed my current opinion of how thingsreally are. This opinion may change at any time as I become aware offuture information. This book is not intended to be a treatise of myopinion, so I will not attempt to defend its validity. The following is the

    best guess I can make about what we think we are doing. Only time will tellas to the accuracy of this guess.

    Our research group uses what I prefer to call tuned trance telepathy tocommunicate with an extraterrestrial race called Ra. We use the Englishlanguage because it is known by Ra. In fact, Ra knows more of it than I do.

    Ra landed on Earth about 11,000 years ago as a sort of extraterrestrialmissionary with the objective of helping Earthman with his mentalevolution. Failing in this attempt, Ra retreated from the Earths surface butcontinued to monitor activities closely on this planet. For this reason Ra ishighly informed about our history, languages, etc.

    Probably the most difficult thing to understand about Ra is its nature. Ra is

    a sixth-density social memory complex. Since Earth is near the end of thethird-density cycle of evolution, this means that Ra is three evolutionarycycles ahead of us. In other words, Ras present state of evolution is millionsof years in advance of Earthmans. It is not surprising that Ra had difficultycommunicating with Earthman 11,000 years ago. The same problem stillexists in our present enlightened time.

    At this writing we have completed over 100 sessions of experimentalcommunications with Ra. This approximate 300,000 words of informationhas suggested to me a possibly more adequate scientific paradigm. Onlytime and future will serve to validate and expand this paradigm.

    UFOlogy is a large subject. A reasonable amount of background materialwould swell this introduction to book length. Therefore, the remainder ofthis introduction does not attempt to cover every portion of this diverse andgrowing field of study but is instead an accounting of some of the pertinentparts of our research from our beginnings to the present day and the Racontact. Ive asked my long-time research associate, Carla L. Rueckert, totell our story.

    Carla L. Rueckert: I first met Don Elkins in 1962. To me he was afascinating character, an unusual combination of a college professor andpsychic researcher. He had done well over 200 hypnotic age regressions,probing past the birth experience and investigating the possibility thatreincarnation might not be just possible but the way things really are.

    Introduction

    In 1962 I joined an experiment that Don had created in order to start to testa hypothesis which he had developed with the help of Harold Price, anengineer for Ford Motor Company. Price had acquainted Don with someinformation which Don found quite interesting. Its source was allegedlyextraterrestrial. Its content was largely metaphysical and seemed to be in linewith all that Don had learned up to that point. Within this material

    instructions were given for creating the means whereby to generate furthermaterial from this same source without the necessity of actual physicalcontact with extraterrestrials.

    Dons hypothesis was that this phenomenon might be reproducible; so, heinvited a dozen of his engineering students to join in an experiment withthe objective of achieving some sort of telepathic contact with a sourcesimilar to that of the Detroit groups. I was the thirteenth member, havingbecome interested in the project though a friend of mine. In those earlydays of contact attempts, with Don attempting strenuously to keep thesituation controlled, months went by with what seemed to be remarkablebut puzzling results. As we sat meditating, according to the instructions,everyone in the group except me began to make strange noises with their

    mouths. For my part, my main difficulty during those first six months waskeeping a straight face and not laughing as the sessions gradually became araucous symphony of guttural clicks, slurps, and tongue flops.

    The nature of the experiment changed drastically when the group wasvisited by a contactee from Detroit. The contactee sat down with the groupand almost immediately was contacted apparently by telepathic impressionsaying: Why dont you speak the thoughts that are on your minds? We areattempting to use you as instruments of communication, but you are allblocked through fear that you will not be speaking the proper words.Through this instrument, Walter Rogers of Detroit, Michigan, the groupwas instructed to refrain from analysis, to speak the thoughts and to analyzethe communication only after it had been completed.

    After that night a month had not gone by before half the group had begunto produce information. By the time a year had passed, all in the groupexcept me were able to receive transmissions. The speech was slow anddifficult at first because each individual wanted a precise impression of eachand every word, and, in many cases, wanted to be completely controlled forfear of making an error in transmission. Nevertheless, this was an excitingtime for the original group of students who began this strange experiment.

    In January of1970 I left my position as school librarian of a thirteen-gradeprivate school here in Louisville and went to work for Don full time. By thistime he was convinced that the great mystery of being could best be

    investigated by research into techniques for contacting extraterrestrialintelligences and was determined to intensify his efforts in this area.

    During this period, Don worked on many peripheral areas of UFOresearch, always trying to put the puzzle pieces together. One of the greatpuzzle pieces for us was the question of how UFOs could materialize anddematerialize. The phenomenon seemed to posit a physics which we had

    not yet grasped and a being capable of using this physics. Don had gone tomany seances by himself before I joined him in his research and had verysystematically crossed each name off his list. He was looking for amaterialization manifestation, not one he could prove to anyone else, butone which he, himself, could believe. It was his feeling that thematerializations which seances manifest were perhaps of the same or similarnature as the materializations of UFOs. Therefore, his reasoning went,viewing personally the mechanism of a materialization and adematerialization in a seance would enable him to hypothesize moreaccurately concerning UFOs.

    In 1971, after I had been on several fruitless materialization medium searcheswith Don, we went to a seance held by the Reverend James Tingley of

    Toledo, a minister of the Spiritualist church.

    We went to see Reverend Tingleys demonstrations four times. Before thefirst time, Don had casually examined Reverend Tingleys modest meetingplace inside and out. It was built of concrete blocks, like a garage. Therewere no gadgets either inside or outside the building. I did not know thatDon was doing this. I merely sat and waited for the demonstration to begin.

    This last point is an important one when talking about psychic research ofany kind. Don has always said that one of my assets as a research associate ismy great gullibility. Almost anyone can play a joke on me because I do notcatch on quickly. I have a way of taking things as they come and acceptingthem at face value and only afterwards analyzing what has occurred. This

    gullibility is a vital factor in obtaining good results in paranormal research.A desire for proof will inevitably lead to null results and voidedexperiments. An open mind, one willing to be gullible, leads its possessor toa kind of subjective and personal certainty which does not equal proof as itcannot be systematically reproduced in others. However, this subjectiveknowing is a central part of the spiritual evolution to which Ra speaks socompellingly in this volume and which we have researched for many yearsnow.

    The seance began, as do all the seances I have attended, with the repetitionof the Lords Prayer and the singing of hymns such as Rock of Ages andI Walked in the Garden. There were approximately twenty-six people in

    Introduction

    this bare room, sitting on straight chairs in an oval circle. Reverend Tingleyhad retired behind a simple curtain and was also seated on a folding chair.Of the occurrences of the first seance, perhaps the most interesting to mewas the appearance of a rather solid ghost known as Sister. She wished tospeak to me and to thank me for helping Don. Since I had never had a closefriend that was a nun, I was quite puzzled. It was not until much later,

    when Don was flying us home, that he jogged my memory, and I realizedthat his mother, who had died before I met her, was known in the family asSister.

    Both in that seance, and in the following seance, when Don and I werecalled up, we could see the ghost-like figures of the materialized spirits quiteclearly. I, with impaired night vision, could still make out features, but Doncould see even the strands of hair on each entity.

    During the second seance an especially inspiring Master appearedsuddenly and the room grew very cold. He gave us an inspirational messageand then told us that he would touch us so that we would know that he wasreal. He did so, with enough force to bruise my arm. Then he told us thathe would walk through us so that we would know that he was not of this

    density. This he did, and it is certainly an interesting sensation to watch thisoccur. Lifting his arms, he blessed all those in the room, walked backthrough us, and pooled down in a small pool on the floor and was gone.

    In 1974 Don decided that it was time for me to become a more seriousstudent of the art of channeling. He argued that twelve years of sitting andlistening to inspirational messages were enough, and that it was time for meto take some responsibility for those cosmic sermonettes, as Brad Steigerhas called them, that I so enjoyed. We began a series of daily meetingsdesigned to work intensively on my mental tuning. Many of those whowere coming to our meditations on Sunday nights heard about the dailymeetings and also came, and within three months we generated about adozen new telepathic receivers.

    During the process of these intensive meditations we instituted our long-standing habit of keeping the tape recorder going whenever we started asession. Using some of the large body of material that our own group hadcollected, I put together an unpublished manuscript, Voices of the Gods,which systematically offered the extraterrestrial viewpoint as recorded byour group meetings. In 1976, when Don and I began to write Secrets of theUFO, (published by a private printing and available by mail) thisunpublished manuscript was of great help.

    During this period one other thing occurred that was synchronistic. Donand I, who had officially gone into partnership as L/L Research in 1970, had

    9/69

    Introduction

    written an unpublished book titled The Crucifixion of Esmeralda Sweetwaterin 1968.

    In 1974, Andrija Puharich published a book with Doubleday titled URI.The book is the narrative of Dr. Puharichs investigation of Uri Geller andtheir unexpected communication with extraterrestrial intelligences. Theform of contact was quite novel in that first some object like an ashtray

    would levitate, signaling Dr. Puharich to load his cassette tape recorder. Therecorders buttons would then be depressed by some invisible force and themachine would record. On playback, a message from an extraterrestrialsource would be present. Don was impressed by the large number ofcorrelations between these messages and our own research.

    The book is fascinating in its own right but it was especially fascinating tous because of the incredible number of distinct and compelling similaritiesbetween the characters in the real-life journal of Dr. Puharichs work withUri and the supposedly fictional characters in our book. We went to NewYork to meet Andrija after phoning him, sharing our long-standing researchwith him and comparing notes. As our genial host came out onto his frontverandah to welcome us, I stopped, amazed, to look at the house. Even the

    house in which he lived in the country north of New York City was a deadringer for the house his fictional counterpart had owned in our book. Theidentity was so close that I could not help but ask, Andrija, what happenedto your peonies? When I wrote about your house I saw your drivewaycircled with peony bushes. Puharich laughed, Oh, those. I had those cutdown three years ago.

    In 1976 we determined to attempt an introduction to the whole spectrum ofparanormal phenomena which are involved in the so-called UFO contacteephenomenon. This phenomenon is not a simple one. Rather, it demands afairly comprehensive understanding and awareness of several different fieldsof inquiry. Since The Ra Materialis a direct outgrowth of our continuousresearch with alleged extraterrestrial entities, it seems appropriate here toreview some of the concepts put forward in that book in order that thereader may have the proper introduction to the mindset, which is mosthelpful for an understanding of this work.

    The first thing to say about the UFO phenomenon is that it isextraordinarily strange. The serious researcher, as he reads more and moreand does more and more field research, finds himself less and less able totalk about the UFO phenomenon in a sensible and down to Earth way.Well over half the people in the United States have said in nationwide pollsthat they believe that UFOs are real, and television series and motionpictures reflect the widespread interest in this subject. Yet, there are few

    Introduction

    10

    researchers who would pretend to be able to understand the phenomenoncompletely. Dr. J. Allen Hynek has called this quality of the research thehigh strangeness factor and has linked the amount of high strangenesswith the probable validity of the case.

    Some of the people who see UFOs have the experience of being unable toaccount for a period of time after the encounter. The UFO is seen and then

    the witness continues on with his or her daily routine. At some point, it isnoticed that a certain amount of time has been lost that cannot beexplained. Very often these same people report a type of eye irritation, orconjunctivitis, and sometimes skin problems. In extreme cases, a personwho has lost time and seen a UFO will develop a change of personality andfind it necessary to contact the aid of a psychologist or a psychiatrist forcounseling. Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, professor of psychology at the Universityof Wyoming, has been conducting yearly meetings of people who haveexperienced this type and other types of Close Encounters.

    It was in psychiatric therapy that one of the more famous of the UFOcontact cases, that of Betty and Barney Hill, was researched. The Hills hadseen a UFO and had lost some time but managed to reduce the significance

    of these events in their minds enough to get on with their daily lives.However both of them, over a period of months, began experiencingnightmares and attacks of anxiety.

    The psychiatrist to whom they went for help was one who often usedregressive hypnosis for therapeutic work. He worked with each of thecouple separately and found, to his amazement, that, when asked to go backto the source of their distress, both Mr. and Mrs. Hill related the story ofbeing taken on board a UFO while on a drive, medically examined, andreturned to their car.

    Don and I have, through the years, investigated quite a few interestingcases; but, perhaps a description of one will suffice to show some of the

    more outstanding strangenesses which are quite commonly associated withwhat Dr. Hynek calls Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In January1977, merely eighteen or so hours after our witnesss UFO experience, wewere called by a friend of ours, hypnotist Lawrence Allison. Lawrence hadbeen contacted by the witnesss mother, who was extraordinarily concernedabout her boy. We made an appointment with the witness, a nineteen-year-old high school graduate employed as a truck driver.

    He had seen a craft about forty feet long and ten feet tall, which was thecolor of the setting sun, at very low altitude, approximately100 to 150 feet.The craft was so bright that it hurt his eyes, yet he could not remove hisgaze from it. He experienced a good deal of fear and lost all sense of actually

    driving his car. When he was directly underneath the UFO it suddenly spedaway and disappeared. When the boy arrived home, his mother was alarmedbecause his eyes were entirely bloodshot. He was able to pinpoint his timeloss since he had left precisely when a television program ended and since henoticed the time of this arrival home. He had lost thirty-eight minutes ofhis life.

    The young man wished to try regressive hypnosis to find his lost time.We agreed; and, after a fairly lengthy hypnotic induction, the proper stateof concentration was achieved and the witness was moved back to the pointat which he was directly underneath the UFO. Suddenly he was inside theship in a circular room which seemed at least twice as high as the entire shiphad seemed from the outside. He saw three objects, none of which lookedhuman. One was black; one was red; and one was white. All looked likesome sort of machine. Each entity seemed to have a personality, althoughnone spoke to the boy, and he endured a kind of physical examination.After the examination was finished the machines merged into one and thendisappeared. The ship bounced and rocked briefly, and then the witness wasback in his car.

    If you are interested in reading a full account of this case, it was publishedin theApro Bulletin, in Flying Saucer Review, in the International UFOReporter, and in theMufon UFO News.

    One of the most familiar aspects of close encounters is the experience thatour witness had of seemingly understanding what aliens were thinking andfeeling without any speech having taken place. Telepathic communicationhas long been the subject of much experimentation and, although there ismuch interesting research, there has never been a definitive study provinggood telepathic communication. Consequently, the field of research intotelepathy is still definitely a fringe area of psychic research. However,anyone who has ever known that the phone was going to ring, or hasexperienced the knowledge of what someone was going to say before it wassaid, has experienced at least a mild example of telepathy. Don states thattelepathic experiments between himself and Uri Geller have been totallysuccessful. However, since they were deliberately not performed underrigorous scientific control, they could not be included in any orthodoxreport. It is, in fact, our opinion that the rigorous controls have adampening effect on the outcome of any experiment of this type.

    L/L Research, which, since 1980, has been a subsidiary of the Rock CreekResearch and Development Labs, to this day holds weekly meetings open toanyone who has read our books. We still tend to insert the word allegedbefore the words telepathic communications from extraterrestrials because

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    12/69

    Introduction

    12

    we know full well that there is no way of proving this basic concept.However, the phenomenon certainly existsmillions of words in our ownfiles and many millions of words in other groups files attest to this fact.

    Regardless of the more than occasional frustrations involved in paranormalresearch, the serious researcher of the UFO phenomenon needs to bepersistent in his investigation of related phenomena, such as mental metal-

    bending. The physics which Ra discusses, having to do with the true natureof reality, posits the possibility of action at a distance as a function of mind,specifically the will. Uri Geller has been tested in several places around theworld, including the Stanford Research Laboratories, and an impressive listof publications concerning the results of those tests exists, most notablyTheGeller Papersand, as an offshoot of this metal-bending phenomenon, TheIceland Papers.

    One example which shows the close connection between UFOs and mentalmetal-bending happened to us in July of1977, after our book, Secrets of theUFO, was published. We had been interviewed on a local program and awoman in a nearby town had heard the broadcast and was very interested inwhat we had to say since her son, a normal fourteen-year-old boy, had had aUFO encounter. He had been awakened by a whistling sound, went to thedoor, and saw a light so bright that it temporarily blinded him. Again, as isoften the case, it was the same night that people nearby also saw lights inthe sky. The woman wrote us a letter, and Don immediately called andasked her permission to speak to her son. After questioning the young manto Dons satisfaction, Don asked him to take a piece of silverware and tell itto bend without touching it in any firm or forceful way. The fourteen-year-old picked up a fork, did as Don suggested, and the fork immediately bentnearly double.

    The boy was so startled that he would not come back to the phone, and hismother was unable to convince him that there was any value in goingfurther with the experiments. She had enough foresight to realize that in thesmall town in which he lived any publicity that might come to him on thesubject of metal-bending would be to his detriment, since the people of hissmall town would react in a most predictable way.

    Nevertheless, the link is there quite plainly. John Taylor, professor ofmathematics at Kings College, London, offered his book, Superminds, tomake his careful experimentations on metal-bending available to the world.Taylor used only children, about fifty of them, and for a great portion of hisexperiment he used metal and plastic objects sealed in glass cylinders whichhad been closed by a glass blower, so that the children could not actuallytouch the objects without breaking the glass.

    Under this controlled circumstance the children were still able to bend andbreak multitudinous objects. As you read The Ra Material you will begin todiscover why it is mostly children that are able to do these things, and whatthe ability to do this has to do with the rest of the UFO message.

    Since I am not a scientist, at this point I will turn the narrative back toDon, whose background is more suited to this discussion.

    Don: A persistent question when considering psychic demonstrations is:how does the paranormal event happen? The answer may well lie in the areaof occult theory, which is concerned with the existence of various planes.

    After death an individual finds himself at one of these levels of existencespoken of in connection with occult philosophy, the level of beingdependent on the spiritual nature or development of the person at the timeof his death. The clich that covers this theory is a heavenly birds of afeather flock together. When a ghost materializes into our reality, it is fromone of these levels that he usually comes for his Earthly visit. In general, it istheorized that a planet is a sort of spiritual distillery, with reincarnationtaking place into the physical world until the individual is sufficiently

    developed in the spiritual sense that he can reach the higher planes ofexistence, and is no longer in need of this planets developmental lessons.

    Most of this theory was developed as a result of reported contact andcommunication with the inhabitants of these supposedly separate realities. Ihave come to believe that these levels interpenetrate with our physical spaceand mutually coexist, though with very little awareness of each other. Asimple analogy, to which Ive referred before, is to consider the actors in twodifferent TV shows, both receivable on the same set, but each show beingexclusive of the other. This seems to be what we experience in our dailylives: one channel or density of existence, being totally unaware of themyriad entities occupying other frequencies of our physical space. Thepoint of all this is that our reality is not ultimate or singular; it is, in fact,

    our reality only at the present.Many of the UFO reports display ample evidence that the object sightedhas its origin in one of these other realities or densities, just as do thematerialized ghosts. I would like to emphasize that this does not in any wayimply their unreality; rather, it displaces the UFOs reality from ours. Imsaying the equivalent of: Channel 4 on the TV is equivalent to but displacedfrom Channel 3 on the same TV.

    If you were told to build a scale model of any atom using something the sizeof a pea for the nucleus, it would be necessary to have an area the size of afootball stadium to contain even the innermost orbital electrons. If the pea

    were placed at the center of the fifty-yard line, a small cotton ball on theuppermost seat in the stands could represent an electron of the atom. Thereis very little actual matter in physical matter. When you look at the stars inthe night sky, you would probably see something quite similar to what youwould see if you could stand on the nucleus of any atom of solid materialand look outward toward our environment. To demonstrate an electron to

    you, a physicist will probably show you a curved trace of one on aphotographic plate. What he probably does not tell you is that this issecondhand evidence. The electron itself has never been seen; only its effecton a dense medium can be recorded. It is possible, of course, to makeaccurate mathematical calculations about what we call an electron. For suchwork we must know some data on magnetic field strength, electron charge,and velocity. But since a magnetic field is caused by moving charges, whichin turn are empirically observed phenomena, we find that the entiremathematical camouflage obscures the fact that all we really know is thatcharged particles have effects on each other. We still dont know whatcharged particles are, or why they create an action-at-a-distance effect.

    Senior scientists would be the first to agree that there is no such thing as an

    absolute scientific explanation of anything. Science is, rather, a method ortool of prediction, relating one or more observations to each other. Inphysics, this is usually done through the language of mathematics. Ourscientific learning is a learning by observation and analysis of thisobservation. In the sense of penetrating the fundamental essences of things,we really do not understand anything at all.

    A magnetic field is nothing but a mathematical method of expressing therelative motion between electrical fields. Electrical fields are complexmathematical interpretations of a totally empirical observation stated asCoulombs Law. In other words, our forest of scientific knowledge andexplanations is made up of trees about which we understand nothing excepttheir effect, their existence.

    To a person unfamiliar with the inner workings of modern science, it mayseem that modern man has his environment nicely under control and totallyfigured out. Nothing could be further from the truth. The leaders of sciencewho are researching the frontiers of modern theory argue among themselvescontinually. As soon as a theory begins to receive wide acceptance as being avalid representation of physical laws, someone finds a discrepancy, and thetheory has to be either modified or abandoned entirely. Perhaps the mostwell-known example of this is Newtons F=MA. This attained the statusof a physical law before being found to be in error. It is not that thisequation has not proven extremely useful: we have used it to designeverything from a moon rocket to the television picture tube; but its

    accuracy fails when applied to atomic particle accelerators like the cyclotron.To make accurate predictions of particle trajectories it is necessary to makethe relativistic correction formulated by Einstein. It is interesting to notethat this correction is based on the fact that the speed of light is totallyindependent of the speed of its source.

    If Newton had penetrated more deeply into the laws of motion he might

    have made this relativistic correction himself, and then stated that thevelocity correction would always be of no consequence, since the velocity oflight was so much greater than any speed attainable by man. This was verytrue in Newtons day, but is definitely not the case now. We still tend tothink of the velocity of light as a fantastic and unattainable speed, but withthe advent of space flight, a new order of velocities has arrived. We have tochange our thinking from our normal terrestrial concepts of velocities.Instead of thinking of the speed of light in terms of miles per second, thinkof it in terms of Earth diameters per second. The almost unimaginable186,000 miles per second becomes an entirely thinkable twenty-three Earthdiameters per second; or, we could think of the speed of light in terms ofour solar systems diameter and say that light would speed at about two

    diameters per day.Einsteins assertion that everything is relative is so apt that it has become aclich of our culture. Let us continue being relativistic in considering thesize of natural phenomena by considering the size of our galaxy. If you lookup at the sky on a clear night, nearly all of the visible stars are in our owngalaxy. Each of these stars is a sun like our own. A calculation of the ratio ofthe number of suns in our galaxy to the number of people on planet Earthdiscovers that there are sixty suns for each living person on Earth today. Ittakes light over four years to get from Earth to even the nearest of thesestars. To reach the most distant star in our own galaxy would take 100,000light years.

    These calculations are made using the assumption that light has a speed.This may be an erroneous assumption in the face of new theory, but itsapparent speed is a useful measuring tool, so we use it anyway.

    So we have a creation in which we find ourselves which is so big that at aspeed of twenty-three Earth diameters a second we must travel 100,000years to cross our immediate backyard. That is a big backyard, and it wouldseem ample for even the most ambitious of celestial architects, but in truththis entire galaxy of over 200 billion stars is just one grain of sand on a verybig beach. There are uncounted trillions of galaxies like ours, each with itsown billions of stars, spread throughout what seems to be infinite space.

    When you think of the mind-boggling expanse of our creation and theinfantile state of our knowledge in relation to it, you begin to see thenecessity for considering the strong probability that our present scientificapproach to investigating these expanses is as primitive as the dugout canoe.

    The most perplexing problem of science has always been finding asatisfactory explanation of what is called action at a distance. In other

    words, everyone knows that if you drop something it will fall, but no oneknows precisely why. Many people know that electric charges push or pullon each other even if separated in a vacuum, but again no one knows why.Although the phenomena are quite different, the equations which describethe force of interaction are quite similar:

    For gravitation: F=Gmm'r2

    For electrostatic interaction: F=Kqq'r2

    The attractive force between our planet and our sun is described by thegravitational equation. The attractive force between orbiting electrons and theatomic nucleus is described by the electrostatic interaction equation. Noweach of these equations was determined experimentally. They are not

    apparently related in any way, and yet they both describe a situation in whichattractive force falls off with the square of the distance of separation.

    A mathematical representation of an action at a distance effect is called afield, such as a gravitational or electric field. It was Albert Einsteinsforemost hope to find a single relation which would express the effect ofboth electric and gravitational phenomena; in fact, a theory which wouldunify the whole of physics, a unified field theory. Einstein believed that thiswas a creation of total order and that all physical phenomena were evolvedfrom a single source.

    This unified field theory, describing matter as pure field, has beenaccomplished now. It seems that the entire situation was analogous to the

    solution of a ponderously complex Chinese puzzle. If you can find that theright key turns among so many wrong ones, the puzzle easily falls apart.Dewey B. Larson found the solution to this problem, and the puzzle notonly fell apart, but revealed an elegantly adequate unified field theory richin practical results; and, like a good Chinese puzzle, the solution was notcomplex, just unexpected. Instead of assuming five dimensions, Larsonassumed six, and properly labeled them as the three dimensions of space andthe three dimensions of time. He assumed that there is a three-dimensionalcoordinate time analogous to our observed three-dimensional space.

    The result of this approach is that one can now calculate from the basicpostulate of Larsons theory any physical value within our physical universe,

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    17/69

    Introduction

    17

    from sub-atomic to stellar. This long-sought-after unified field theory isdifferent because we are accustomed to thinking of time as one-dimensional, as a stream moving in one direction. Yet once you get thehang of it, coordinate time is mathematically a more comfortable conceptwith which to deal. Professor Frank Meyer of the Department of Physics atthe University of Wisconsin presently distributes a quarterly newsletter to

    scientists interested in Larsons new theory which explores perplexingquestions in physical theory using Larsons approach. I was interested intesting Larsons theory and made extensive calculations using his postulate.I became convinced that his theory is indeed a workable unified fieldtheory.

    I had been pondering several interesting statements communicated throughcontactees by the alleged UFO source prior to discovering Larsons work inthe early sixties. Although the people who had received thesecommunications knew nothing of the problems of modern physics, theywere getting information which apparently was quite central to physicaltheory: first, they suggested that the problem with our science was that itdid not recognize enough dimensions. Second, they stated that light does

    not move; light is. Larsons theory posits six dimensions instead of thecustomary four, and finds the pure field, which Einstein believed wouldrepresent matter, to move outward from all points in space at unit velocity,or the velocity of light. Photons are created due to a vibratory displacementin space-time, the fabric of the field. Furthermore, the contactees weresaying that consciousness creates vibration, this vibration being light. Thevibratory displacements of space-time in Larsons theory are the firstphysical manifestation, which is the photon or light. According to the UFOcontactees, the UFOs lower their vibrations in order to enter our skies. Theentire physical universe postulated by Larson is dependent on the rate ofvibration and quantized rotations of the pure field of space-time.

    The contactees were suggesting that time was not what we think it is.

    Larson suggests the same thing. The UFOs were said to move in time as wemove in space. This would be entirely normal in Larsons time-spaceportion of the universe.

    Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the contactees were receiving themessage that the creation is simple, all one thing. Larsons theory is amathematical statement of this unity.

    What physicists have never before considered worth investigating is nowincreasing at a very rapid rate. Action at a distance, apparently as a result ofsome type of mental activity, seems repeatedly the observed effect. WhenUri Geller performs on TV, mentally bending metal and fixing clocks, there

    are often many kids who try to duplicate Uris tricks. Sometimes the kidssucceed. The number of children that can cause bends and breaks in metaland other materials just by wanting the break or bend to occur is increasingdaily. As previously mentioned, John Taylor, professor of mathematics atKings College, reports in his excellent book, Superminds, on the extensivetests run in England on several of these gifted children. If the Gellerizingchildren continue to increase in numbers and ability, the 1980s will see suchfantasies of TV as My Favorite Martian, I Dream of Jeannie, andBewitched becoming a part of reality.

    With controlled, repeatable experiments like those conducted by Taylor andby the Stanford Research Institute in the United States, we begin to havegood solid data available for study. Gradually we are moving into a position

    from which we can begin to create a science of magic, for that which hasbeen called magic through the ages is now being performed at an ever-increasing rate, primarily by children. In the future, we may even find thismagic added to the curriculum of the sciences at universities. In point offact, the present disciplines of chemistry, physics, etc., are still basicallymagic to us, since we are still in the position of having no ultimateexplanation of causality.

    Carla: One of the concepts most central to the system of study which comesout of research into the contactee messages offered by alleged UFO contactis the concept of the immortality of our individual consciousness. There is along mystical tradition extending back far beyond Biblical times, whichposits a type of immortal soul. St. Paul in his Epistles has distinguishedbetween the human body and the spiritual body. Long before St. Paulscentury, Egyptian priests had the concept of the ka and posited that this ka,or spiritual personality, existed after death and was the true repository of theessence of consciousness of the person who had lived the life. Egyptians, ofcourse, made very elaborate arrangements for life after death.

    If life after death is posited as a probability, one may also posit life beforebirth. Any mother who has more than one child will testify to theundoubted fact that each child comes into his life or incarnation alreadyequipped with a personality which cannot be explained by environment orheredity. After all the factors of both have been accounted for, there remains

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    19/69

    Introduction

    19

    a unique personality with which the child seems to have been born. Eachchild has certain fears which are not explainable in terms of the fears of theparents. A child, for instance, may be terrified of a thunderstorm. The restof the family may be perfectly comfortable during such a storm. Anotherchild may be extraordinarily gifted at the playing of an instrument whenneither parent nor any relative as far back as the parents can remember had

    musical ability.This brings us back to the serious consideration of reincarnation. Accordingto the alleged UFO contact messages, reincarnation is one of the mostimportant concepts to be grasped, for through it the universe functions inorder to advance the evolution of mankind. This evolution is seen to be notonly physical but also metaphysical, not only of the body but also of thespirit, and incarnations are seen in this system of philosophy to beopportunities for an individual to continue his evolution through numerousand varied experiences.

    Although perhaps two-thirds of the worlds population embraces, or isfamiliar with a religious system which posits reincarnation, those of us ofthe Judeo-Christian culture are not as familiar with this concept.

    Nevertheless, Dons early investigations seemed to indicate thatreincarnation was a probability and that incarnations contained situations,relationships, and lessons which were far more easily understood in the lightof knowledge of previous incarnations.

    One succinct example of this relationship, which some are fond of callingkarma, is that of a young boy (who requests that his name not be used) whoin this life had experienced such intense allergies to all living things that hecould not cut the grass, smell the flowers, or, during the blooming season,spend much time at all outside. Under hypnotic regression he experiencedin detail a long life in England. He had been a solitary man whose naturewas such as to avoid contact with any human being. He had inherited afairly large estate and he spent his life upon it. His one pleasure was the veryextensive garden that he maintained. In it he had his gardeners plant allmanner of flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

    After the life had been discussed, and while the lad was still in trance,hypnotist Lawrence Allison asked the boy, as he often did, to contact whatis loosely referred to as his Higher Self. He had the boy ask his Higher Selfif the lesson of putting people first and other things second had beenlearned. The Higher Self said that indeed the lesson had been learned. Thehypnotist then had the boy ask the Higher Self if this allergy could behealed, since the lesson had been learned and the allergy was no longernecessary. The Higher Self agreed. The hypnotist then carefully brought the

    20/69

    Introduction

    20

    boy out of the hypnotic state and walked over to his piano on which wasplaced a magnolia. As magnolia blossoms will do, it had dropped its pollenon the polished surface of the piano, and the hypnotist scraped the pollenonto his hand, took it over to the boy, and deliberately blew the pollendirectly at the boys nose. How could you do that to me! exclaimed theboy. You know how allergic I am. Oh, really? asked the hypnotist. I

    dont hear you sneezing. The boy remained cured of his allergy.When we attempt to consider our relationship with the universe, we beginto see that there is a great deal more in heaven and earth than has beendreamt of in most philosophies. It is an unbelievably gigantic universe, andif we have a true relationship to it we must, ourselves, be more than, orother than, our daily lives seem to encompass. In The Ra Materiala gooddeal of information is discussed concerning our true relationship with theuniverse, but it is good to realize that we do have a long tradition of workupon what may perhaps most simply be called the magical personality.

    Magic is, of course, a much misused term and is mostly understood as beingthe art of prestidigitation, or illusion. When one sees a magician, oneaccepts the fact that one is seeing very skillfully performed illusions.

    However, there is a study of the so-called magical personality which suggeststhat there is a thread which runs through our daily lives which we can grasp;and, using that thread, remove ourselves from time to time into aframework of reference points in which we see reality as being that of thespiritual body, that the personality which exists from incarnation toincarnation and indeed since before the world was. By working upon thismagical personality, by interiorizing experience, by accepting responsibilityfor all that occurs, by carefully analyzing our reactions to all that occurs, andby eventually coming to balance our reactions to all that occurs so that ouractions in our environment are generated within the self and are no longersimple reactions to outward stimulus, we strengthen the so-called magicalpersonality until we are able to have some small claim to the art of causingchanges in consciousness at will. This is the classic definition of magic.Each time that a person sustains an unfortunate situation and reacts to it bynot giving anger for anger or sadness for sadness but instead offeringcompassion and comfort where none was expected, we strengthen thatthread of inner strength within us and we become more and moreassociated with a life that is closely related to the organic evolution of theuniverse.

    It is some sense of the wholeness or organic nature of the universe whichbest informs the student of the UFOs purposes in being here. They havebeen here, by many accounts, for thousands of years; at least UFOs have

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    21/69

    Introduction

    21

    been mentioned, along with many other strange sights, in the annals of allearly histories including the Bible.

    Modern-day interest in UFOs can probably be fairly accurately dated fromKenneth Arnolds historic sighting over Mt. Rainier in Washington.Another early and historic sighting, also by an extremely reliable witness, iscoincidentally connected with Don Elkins and so I would choose the

    Mantell case of January7, 1948, instead of the Kenneth Arnold case of June24, 1947, for discussion.

    Thomas Mantell had trained as a pilot and had flown missions in Africa,Europe, and, most notably, D-Day. In 1947 he was out of the Air Corpsand had started the Elkins-Mantell Flying School on Bowman Field inLouisville, Kentucky. In 1947 Don Elkins was a youthful student in thisschool.

    At about two oclock in the afternoon on January7, 1948, the KentuckyState Police called Fort Knox and reported to the MPs there that they hadsighted a circular flying object moving rather quickly in their area. The MPscalled the commanding officer at Godman Field at Fort Knox and through

    due process the flight service checked with Wright Field in Ohio to see ifthere were any experimental aircraft which could explain the sighting.Wright Field had none flying.

    Meanwhile, the tower at Godman Field, Fort Knox, had already sighted thisdisc-shaped object, both visually and on radar, and had made a reportwhich was relayed quickly to the commanding officer.

    As it happened, four F-51s were in the area en route from Marietta, Georgia,near Atlanta, to Louisville, Kentucky. Since they were already airborne thecommanding officer at Godman Field decided to contact the lead pilot andrequest that he investigate the UFO. The lead pilot was Captain ThomasMantell.

    Mantell was given a radar vector from Godman tower and moved towardsthe UFO. He sighted the object and stated that it was traveling slower thanhe was and that he would close to take a look. Then Mantell informed thetower that the object was now above him, that it appeared to be metallic,and that it was tremendous in size.

    None of the F-51s, including Mantells, was equipped with oxygen. Theother pilots leveled off at 15,000 feet. Mantell kept climbing. That was thelast transmission from Captain Mantell. Minutes later there was a telephonecall stating that a plane had crashed. It was Captain Mantells. His body laynear the wreckage.

    I could spend the length of the book attempting to give you a sketchyintroduction to the thousands and thousands of sightings like CaptainMantells that involve irrefutably puzzling and concrete evidence ofsomething highly strange occurring. There are many radar sightings ofUFOs. There is one volume, published by the Center for UFO Studies inEvanston, Illinois, which deals solely with the numerous physical traces that

    UFOs have left behind, either by irradiating the soil, causing other changesin soil composition, or leaving impressions in the ground. A computer setup by this same organization to carry a program of information regardingUFOs contains well over 80,000 reports; and some things becomestartlingly clear by the use of UFOCAT, the computer. For instance, it isnow possible, if one measures a landing trace from a UFO sighting, to findout from the computer what the probable description of the UFO itself willbe. Thus, in a way, the witness is merely confirming what the computeralready knows.

    However, this is an introduction to a book which consists of transcripts ofmessages of a very precise nature having to do with metaphysics,philosophy, and the plan of evolution, both physical and spiritual, of man

    on Earth. Consequently, what I propose to do is share with you some of theresearch material which our group has collected through the years. Since allof these examples come from the same group we never describe who thereceiver may be as we feel that it is the information that is important ratherthan the person who is transmitting.

    According to an entity called Hatonn who has spoken with our group andseveral others for many years, the purpose in being here of at least some ofthe UFOs that are seen in our skies at this time is much like the purposethat we might have in sending aid to a disaster-stricken or extremelyimpoverished country. It is a desire to be of service.

    We have been contacting people of planet Earth for many, many ofyour years. We have been contacting at intervals of thousands of yearsthose who sought our aid. It is time for many of the people of thisplanet to be contacted, for many now have the understanding and thedesire to seek something outside the physical illusion that has for somany years involved the thinking of those of this planet. The processwe are stimulating is one which is self-generating. As more and more ofthose who desire our contact receive it and pass it on to others, thenthose who receive this passed-on information will then themselves beable to reach a state of thinking and understanding sufficiently in tune,shall I say, with our vibrations in order to receive our contact. For this,my friends, is how contacts work. It is first necessary, if the entity is tobe able to receive our contact, for him to become of a certain vibration

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    23/69

    Introduction

    23

    as a result of his thinking. This is greatly speeded by involvement ingroups such as this. And then it is finally done through meditation. Inother words, the verbal communications given to the entity by thechannels such as this one create a system of thought and a desire forspiritual awareness that raises his vibration.

    We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite

    Creator are very sorry that we cannot step upon your soil and teachthose of your people who desire our service. But, my friends, as we havesaid before, this would be a very great disservice to those who do notdesire our service at this time, and we are afraid we would have littleeffect in bringing understanding even to those who desire it, forunderstanding, my friends, comes from within. We can only guide. Wecan only suggest. We are attempting to do this in such a way that theseeking of the individual will be stimulated to turning his thinkinginward, inward to that single source of love and understanding, theCreator, that is part of us all, part of everything that exists, foreverything that exists, my friends, is the Creator.

    We are very privileged to have you join with us in this great service at

    this time in the history of your planet. For this is a very great time, agreat transitional period, in which many of the Earths people will beraised from their state of confusion to a simple understanding: the loveof their Creator.

    Hatonn speaks of our desire to seek something outside the physical illusion,What he talks about so persuasively is something that is often referred to bymembers of what Ra calls the Confederation of Planets in the Service of theInfinite Creator as the original thought. This is another term for our word,love, but implies a great deal more. It implies a unity that is so great that wedo not see each other simply as close friends, or brothers and sisters, but,ideally, as the Creator; and, as we see each other and ourselves as the Creator,we see one being. This concept is at the very heart of telepathy and Hatonntalks about this concept and the original thought in general:

    At this time I am in a craft far above your place of dwelling. I am at thistime able to monitor your thoughts. This, my friends, might seem tosome of your peoples to be an infringement, but I can assure you that itis not. Our capabilities of knowing the thinking of the peoples of thisplanet Earth are not designed in any way to infringe upon either theirthinking or their activities. We do not consider the knowledge of thethoughts of others to be an infringement for we see these thoughts asour own. We see these thoughts as the thoughts of the Creator.

    Introduction

    24

    My friends, it may seem to you that a thought of a nature other thanone of love and brotherhood might be a thought generated not of ourCreator. This is not possible, my friends. All thought that is generatedis generated by the Creator. All things that are generated are generatedby the Creator. He is all things and is in all places, and all of theconsciousness and all of the thought that exists is the thought of our

    Creator. His infinite number of parts all have free will, and all maygenerate in any way they choose. All of His parts communicate with allof the creation, in His entire and infinite sense.

    We are not attempting to change the thinking of our Creator. We areonly attempting to bring His ideas to some of the more isolated partsfor their inspection and appraisal. Isolated parts, I say, my friends, andwhy should we consider these parts to be isolated? We consider themisolated because from our point of view they have chosen to wander farfrom the concept that we have found to permeate most of the parts ofthe creation with which we are familiar. We find, my friends, that manupon planet Earth in his experiences and experiments has becomeisolated in his thinking and has divorced it from that to which we are

    accustomed in the vast reaches of creation which we have experienced.I urge you, my friends, to remember what we have brought to you. Thenext time that you are, shall we say, backed into a corner by thecircumstances which prevail within the illusion of your physicalexistence, remember what you have learned and do not forget what youhave worked so hard to obtain. You will choose at any time to alteryour needs and desires from within the physical illusion to your beingwithin the creation of the Father. As long as your objectives lie withinthis physical illusion it will be necessary for you to be subject to thelaws which prevail within this illusion. If your desires can be altered bythe application of what you are learning and are lifted in the creation ofthe Infinite One, then, my friends, you may have a great deal more

    ability to remove yourself from the corners into which the illusionseems to back you.

    To some who may read these words the concepts may seem to be a less thanpractical and certainly overly idealistic method of discussing what manyhave called the new age or the Age of Aquarius. It certainly seems unlikelythat an entire planet could go so wrong philosophically and that beingssupposedly more advanced than we would care enough about us to attemptto help us.

    However as we look for the heart of the cosmic system of philosophy, wefind much that is clear and simple without being simplistic in the least, much

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    that is ethical without being dogmaticin short, much that is informative.Here Hatonn speaks of the nature of reality, which, in the main, seems tohave escaped the notice of Earth man:

    My friends, man on Earth has become very shortsighted in appreciationof the creation. He does not understand the true meaning of the simpleand beautiful life that surrounds him. He does not appreciate its

    generation and regeneration. He learns that the very atmosphere that hebreathes is cycled through the plant life to be regenerated to supporthim and his fellow beings and creatures, and yet this seems to the vastmajority of those who dwell upon this planet to be an exercise intechnology rather than one in theology. There is no awareness of theCreators plan to provide for His children, to provide for their everydesire and to provide a state of perfection. Man on Earth has lost theawareness that is rightfully his. And why, my friends, has he lost thisawareness? He has lost this because he has focused his attention upondevices and inventions of his own. He has become hypnotized by hisplaythings and his ideas. He is but a child in his mind.

    All of this may be very simply remedied, and man can once more return

    to an appreciation of reality rather than an appreciation of the illusioncreated by his mind. All that is necessary, my friends, is that heindividually avail himself to this appreciation of reality through theprocess of meditation, for this process stills his active conscious mindwhich is continually seeking stimulus within the illusion developed overso many centuries of time upon planet Earth. Very rapidly, then, he canreturn to an appreciation of the reality in the functioning of the realcreation.

    This, my friends, is what man of Earth must return to if he is to knowreality: this simple thought of absolute love, a thought of total unitywith all his brothers regardless of how they might express themselves orwhom they might be, for this is the original thought of your Creator.

    The creation of the Father, then, as Hatonn calls it, has a very simple nature,a nature in which love is the essence of all things and of all their functions.

    Yet this real creation obviously is not uppermost in most of our mindsbecause we live in a day-to-day atmosphere to which the Confederation hasreferred quite often as an illusion.

    We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the InfiniteCreator have been, for many of your years, aware of many principles ofreality. We are aware of these principles because we have availedourselves to them just as the people of your planet may do.

    It is possible through meditation to totally reduce the illusion that younow experience that creates the separationan illusory separationtowhat it actually is, a total illusion. We have been continuing to speak toyou about meditation. We have spoken to you many times about realityand about love and about understanding, and yet you do not seem tobe able to overcome the illusion.

    The reason for the illusion, my friends, is one that man on Earth hasgenerated. He has generated it out of desire. This illusion is useful. It isvery useful for those who would wish to evolve at a very rapid rate byexperiencing it and by using it while within it. Many of us who are nowcircling your planet would desire to have the opportunity that you have,the opportunity to be within the illusion and then, through thegeneration of understanding, use the potentials of the illusion. This is away of gaining progress spiritually and has been sought out by many ofour brothers.

    I cannot over-emphasize the necessity of becoming able to understandthe nature of the potentials within your illusion and then, by self-analysis and meditation, reacting to that in a way that will express the

    thought that generated us: the thought of our Creator. This was doneby the teacher whom you know as Jesus. This man recognized hisposition. He recognized the illusion. He understood the reason for thepotentials within the illusion, and his reaction to these potentials andactivities within the illusion was a reaction which was expressing thethought of the Creator, a thought of love.

    Keep uppermost in your mind that the illusion that you experience isan illusion, that it is surrounding you for the purpose of teaching you.It can only teach you if you become aware of its teachings. It is said thatHe worked His wonders in mysterious ways. This way may seemmysterious; however, it is the way of spiritual evolvement. There aremany souls experiencing the illusion in which you find yourself;however, there are few using this illusion to grow. They are not doingthis other than at a subliminal level because they have not availedthemselves through their seeking to a knowledge of the possibility ofdoing this.

    Once an individual has become aware of the possibility of using theillusion in which he finds himself in your physical world for theprogression of spiritual growth, it is necessary that he take the next stepand use his knowledge to express, regardless of the potentials whichaffect him, the love and understanding of his Creator.

    As you have by now become aware, meditation is always suggested as the bestmeans of attaining understanding, of progressing spiritually, and ofunderstanding the nature of the illusion and the purpose for which you areexperiencing it. Each person is involved in an illusion or game in which wemay, if we wish, use our consciousness in meditation in such a way as tocreate a more rapid growth in personal evolution. But how do we bring

    ourselves to the point at which this process, which often seems very difficult,is grasped and begun?

    Desire, my friends, is the key to what you receive. If you desire it, youshall receive it. This was the Creators plan, a plan in which all of Hisparts would receive exactly what they desire. My friends, often in theillusion which you now experience it seems that you do not acquirewhat you desire. In fact, the opposite seems to be the case in many,many instances. It is a paradox, it seems, that such a statement shouldbe made and that such apparent results of desire are manifested, and yetwe state, without exception, that man receives exactly what he desires.Perhaps, my friends, you do not understand desire. Perhaps thisunderstanding is not within the intellectual mind. Perhaps it will be

    necessary to spend time in meditation to become aware of your realdesire. For, my friends, there is much, much more of you and of thecreation than you presently appreciate with your intellectual abilities inyour present illusion.

    It is very difficult for the peoples of this planet to give up their illusion,to give up the preconceived knowledge of what they believe to be causeand effect. However, this is not reality. This is illusion, born of illusion.It is a simple product of the complexity that man upon this planet hasgenerated. Join with us in divorcing your thinking from suchcomplexities and become aware of what has created you, everything thatyou experience, and everything that is thought. Become aware of yourCreator. Become aware of His desire, and when you know this desire

    you will know your own, for you and your Creator are one, and you areone with all of His parts and, therefore, all of your fellow beingsthroughout all of the creation. When you know His desire you will feelit. There will be no more confusion. There will be no more questions.You will have found what you have sought. You will have found Love,for this is the desire of your Creator: that all of His parts express andexperience the Love that created you. This may be found simply, inmeditation. No amount of seeking within the intellectual concepts ofyour people, no amount of careful planning or careful interpretation ofthe written or spoken word will lead you to the simple truth.

    The Confederation messages concentrate a great deal upon the concept ofseeking and of desire, feeling that the will of each entity is absolutely centralto each entitys quest for evolution. In fact, they say, free will is at thefoundation of the universe. Each entity is conceived not only as being part ofone unity but also as being a totally unique part of that unity. Each personsfree will is quite paramount and the Confederations concern is always to

    avoid infringement upon the freewill of any person. Their method ofcontacting man on Earth takes its form from a deep concern for this free will:

    We do not wish to impose our understanding of truth upon yourpeoples, and this would be something that we would do if we contactedthem directly. We could not help it, for our very utterance of truthwould be accepted by many of your peoples as being valid. We do notwish to be thought of as the ultimate representatives of the Creatorstruth. We wish to give this to your peoples in such a way so that theymay accept or reject this at their own will. This, as we understand it, isa necessary provision in the spiritual evolvement of all mankind: that hebe, at some state of his evolution, in a position to accept or reject whatis necessary for his evolution. In this way, and only in this way, can he

    know the truth, the truth of the Creator, that single truth that is thecreation, the truth of the love of the creation.

    It must be realized from within. It cannot be impressed from without.We are attempting to stimulate those of your peoples who would bestimulated to seeking this truth that is within them. We have beenrequired by our understanding of our Creators principle to remain inhiding, for we cannot serve one individual and at the same time do adisservice to his neighbor by proving within his own mind that we exist,for many of those of planet Earth at this time do not desire to believe inor have proof of our existence. For this reason we find it necessary tospeak to those who seek through channels such as this one. We find itnecessary to give to those who seek that which they seek in such a way

    that they, for themselves, may appraise its value and accept or reject, ontheir own terms, those thoughts that we bring, and understand thereality of the creation in which all of us exist.

    Once the desire to receive this message has been developed the messages areindeed available, not just from our group but from many so-called contacteeor channeling groups around the world. Indeed, you will find little new in thecosmic system of philosophy. Those concepts are basic, profound, andsimple. The Confederation has a name for one of the great goals of thissystem of meditation and studyunderstanding:

    Introduction

    Many of your peoples are at this time seeking outside their illusion. Tothose who seek, we offer our understanding. We do not attempt to saythat we have ultimate wisdom. We only suggest that that which wehave to offer may be of value, for we have found, in our experience, aswe have passed through the same experiences as those of Earth, thatthere is a most beneficial direction in seeking to serve. We are acting

    through instruments such as those here tonight to give to those whoseek, an understanding. Our presence is meant to stimulate seeking.Through this process, we hope to contact as many of the peoples ofyour planet as would desire our contact. We hope in the very nearfuture to be able to contact many more of the peoples of your planet,the peoples who would desire understanding. It is difficult to contactthose people of your planet because of this, shall I say, mixture of types,but it is well worth our effort if we are able to contact but one.

    We will continue to act as we do now, speaking through instrumentssuch as this one, until a sufficient number of the peoples of your planethave become aware of truth. We are constantly striving to bring,through many channels of communication, the simple message to the

    peoples of Earth: the simple message that will leave them with a simpleunderstanding of all that there is, and that is love.

    But understanding, that understanding which shows us the love of an InfiniteCreator, is again and again described as being possible far more easily throughthe processes of meditation than by any other method:

    There are pieces of information that are of importance and there arepieces of information that are not. Wisdom is a rather lonely matter,my friends. You must accept this truth as you acquire the burden ofwisdom. That which you know, you are to be careful of, for what youknow in the real creation has power, and that which you desire is all ofthe direction which that power will be aimed at; but have faith, myfriends, in what you know and what you are learning. Feed your faithand your understanding through meditation. The further that you goalong this path, my friends, the more meaningful you will find thissimple statement: meditate. It begins as a simple process and, little bylittle, it becomes a way in which you live. Observe it as you progressalong your own spiritual path.

    It is frequently suggested in contactee messages that the state of mind of theseeker has the opportunity of being continuously in a far more pleasantconfiguration than is the mind of one who is not actively engaged in pursuinga path of self-knowledge and seeking. However, there are other fruits of the

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    30/69

    Introduction

    30

    path of meditation and seeking which are predictable and which engage theattention of those who channel these messages.

    It is to be remembered, my friends, that service to others is service toones self. Notice that we do not say that service is like unto service toones self. There is no similarity between others and ourselves. There isidentity. There is completion and unity. Therefore, that which is felt of

    a negative nature towards a sheep of the flock is felt towards ones selfand is felt toward the Creator. This enters the service which youattempt to give to yourself and to the Creator through service toanother and causes a blot or a stain upon the perfect service you wouldhave performed. It must be remembered that each person is acompletely free entity whose independence must in no way be shakenand yet whose identity remains one with you.

    There is only one thing of great importance for you to consider at thistime. That is your personal preparation for service. You are to serveyour fellow man, and, therefore, it is necessary that you prepare

    yourselves for this service. This of course, my friends, is done inmeditation. We cannot overemphasize the importance of meditation.Through this technique you will receive answers to all of yourquestions. It is difficult to realize this, but this is true. All of yourquestions can be reduced to an extremely simple concept. This you canbecome aware of in meditation. Once this has been done you will beready to serve, just as others have served and are now serving upon yourplanet. Follow their example; spend time in meditation. Qualifyyourself to reach out to your fellow man and lead him from thedarkness of confusion that he is experiencing back into the light that hedesires.

    One service which the Confederation sources greatly appreciate is that

    provided by vocal channels which are trained in groups such as the one whichwe have had in Louisville since 1962. They never suggest in any way that theirmessage is unique or that salvation can only be gained by listening to thatmessage. However, they are aware that there are many who seek that messagethrough sources other than orthodox religion and classical philosophy.Consequently, they are here to provide a service of making informationavailable and can only perform their service through vocal channels:

    There are more people upon this planet seeking than there have been inthe past. However, many are quite confused in their attempts to seekand there is a need at this time for many more channels such as this onewho can receive directly the thoughts that so many of the people of thisplanet are seeking. We are attempting at this time to generate greaternumbers of proficient vocal channels who can receive our thoughts

    quite readily. This requires daily meditation. This is all that is required:daily meditation. It is assumed, of course, that as this daily meditationis performed there is a desire for our contact.

    As one who has participated in meditation groups for many years, may Isuggest that individual meditations not include the attempt to contactConfederation sources. It is best to pursue this attempt only in a groupsituation, preferably a group which contains at least one experienced receiver.And always, whether meditating alone or in a group, I strongly recommendsome means of tuning so that the meditation which follows will be at thehighest spiritual level possible. This tuning can be accomplished in any waypreferable to the meditator. The Lords Prayer, Aum-ing or other singing orchanting, the reading of some inspirational writing, or a careful visualization

    of the white light of the Creator, are all useful tuning methods.Reincarnation is very basic to the Confederation message. One of the mosthighly regarded fruits of the meditation and seeking process is the ability ofthe seeker to penetrate what Ra calls the forgetting process which occursat the time of our birth into this incarnation so that we might becomeaware of the lessons which we have to learn during this incarnation. Theselessons are always along the lines of how to love better, more fully, moredeeply, or with more kindness and understanding. However, each entity hasunique lessons:

    At the time at which each of you incarnated, my friends, each of youwas aware that certain lessons, hitherto unlearned, were to be the goalsfor achievement in this incarnation. If it seems to you that your entireincarnation within this illusion has been a series of difficulties of oneparticular type, then you are almost certainly aware in some manner ofone of your lessons. As you can see, these lessons are not to be avoided.They are to be learned.

    Further, we must point out to you that when a confrontation in such alesson has been achieved, that which separates you from understandingis most often your own thinking. Your conscious thinking processes arequite capable of being self-destructive in the sense that they may aidyou to avoid the lesson that you wish in reality to learn. Therefore, asyou approach a lesson, we suggest that if it is possible to achieve a

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    32/69

    Introduction

    32

    temporary abeyance of the conscious, analytical processes, then youmay return to the problem with a much clearer mentality, ready tolearn what you came to this experience to learn, rather than only toavoid what you came to learn.

    We know how difficult it is to achieve the meditative state at all times,for we have been where you are and we are aware of that particular type

    of illusion that you call physical. We urge you, therefore, to depend onmeditation of a formal kind, then to attempt a semi-meditative state atall times, and, by this, we mean simply to achieve a state of attention sothat your destructive impulses are not free to clog your mindcompletely and keep you from learning the lessons you came to learn.

    Undergirding all of the lessons that we have to learn about love is the basicconcept that all things are one:

    Meditate upon the complete unity of yourself and all that you see. Dothis not once, and not simply in present circumstances, but at all times,and especially in difficult circumstances. For insofar as you love and feelat one with those things which are difficult for you, to that extent will

    those circumstances be alleviated. This is not due to any laws withinour physical illusion, but is due to the Law of Love, for that body whichis of spirit, which is interpenetrated with the physical body, is higherthan your physical body, and those changes which you make by loveupon your spiritual body will, of necessity, reflect themselves within thephysical illusion.

    All is one, my friends. My voice is now the voice of this instrument; mythoughts are her thoughts. Please believe that the vibration we offer toyou is not a vibration of personality, but is a vibration of the Creator.We are also channels. There is only one voice. Within this vibration, weare self-consciously aware that this voice is the voice of the Creator. It issimply a matter of lifting vibrations which are not so self-aware of the

    Creator. All things will eventually come into harmony in relation toyour understanding.

    Even if the universe for those around you remains disharmonious anddifficult, if your mind is stayed upon the unity of the Creator, yourown universe will become harmonious, and this is not by your doingbut by the simple love of the Creator.

    From many sources we have heard that we are in the last days of a particularera of evolution. Popular writers of the Christian faith have taken the writingsof the Book of Revelations and analyzed them in such a way that it issuggested that the days of Armageddon are near at hand. Scientists have

  • 8/2/2019 Law of One - Book 1

    33/69

    Introduction

    33

    written many books exploring the possibility that unusual planetaryconfigurations such as the Jupiter Effect will occur now and in the year 2,000,thus enlarging the possibility for Earth changes. Other scientists haveexamined much evidence indicating that a polar shift by the year 2,000 isprobable. Prophets such as Edgar Cayce have channeled information havingto do with such drastic changes occurring and in addition, of course, there are

    our many concerns having strictly to do with the man-made potential forplanetary devastation. We also have gathered information in our meetings onthe subject of Earth changes:

    There is a season upon your planet which shall be highly traumaticwithin your physical illusion. The physical reasons for this are varied.Your scientists will spend a great deal of time, while they can, inattempting to catalog and describe each of the conditions which willproduce disaster on this physical plane of your planet. That which yourscientists speak of is quite so, and will be part of the program which hasbeen predicted by all of those holy works which you have upon the faceof the Earth.

    It is not either permissible or possible for us to tell you precisely what

    events will occur, or when they will occur, due to the fact that thevibration within the mind and heart of the peoples upon your planet isdetermining and will determine the precise events. There is within theplanet Earth a great deal of karma which must be adjusted as the cyclechanges, and these things will manifest. Precisely when, and how, wecannot say, nor would we wish to, my friends. For the rain, and thewind, and fire, will destroy only those things which are in what you callthe third density of vibration. You may value those things because youcannot imagine what a fourth-density existence will be like. We suggestto you that you spend no time concerning yourselves with the effort ofmaintaining your third density existence after the vibration change tofourth density has been completed.

    If, within your spirit, your graduation day has come, those thingsnecessary for your emergence into fourth density will be done for you.All will be accomplished by helpers which you must be aware that youhave.

    It is extremely possible that damage will occur to those things whichyou identify with yourself in the third density. If we may speak plainly,you will observe the valley of the shadow of death. These very words,my friends, have been spoken to you before, and yet you cling to thatphysical body and those physical surroundings as though your spiritwere attached quite permanently to them.

    May we suggest to you that you can find your spirit neither in yourhead, nor in your hands, nor in your chest, nor in your legs, nor in yourfeet, that nowhere can you find your spirit; nowhere can you operate toremove it, nor to aid it. Your spirit resides within a shell. The shell maybe removed, but that is no matter. The spirit does not perish.

    What is the metaphysical meaning of this suggested physical trauma of our

    planet? The Confederation suggests that the planet itself is moving into a newvibration, a new portion of space and time, which many have called the NewAge, but into which we shall not be able to enter unless we have indeedlearned the lessons of love which it has been our choice to learn or not tolearn for many incarnations. Therefore the Confederation suggests that it isvery important to choose to follow the positive path or not to follow it:

    There is a choice to be made very shortly, and it would be preferable ifall of the people of this planet understand the choice that is to be made.It will be difficult for many of the people of this planet to understandwhat this choice is, because it is a choice that they have not considered.They have been much too involved in their daily activities and theirconfusion and their desires of a very trivial nature to be concerned with

    an understanding of the choice that they are very shortly to make.Whether they wish to or not, whether they understand it or not,regardless of any influence, each and every one of the people who dwellupon planet Earth will shortly make a choice. There will be no middlearea. There will be those who choose to follow the path of love andlight and those who choose otherwise.

    This choice will not be made by saying, I choose the path of love andlight, or l do not choose it. The verbal choice will mean nothing.This choice will be measured by the individuals demonstration of hischoice. This demonstration will be very easy for us of theConfederation of Planets in His Service to interpret. This choice ismeasured by what we term the vibratory rate of the individual. It isnecessary, if an individual is to join those who make the choice of loveand understanding, for his rate of vibration to be above a certainminimal level. There are many now that are close to this minimumlevel, but due to continuing conditions of erroneous thought thatprevail upon your surface, they are either fluctuating around this pointor are even in some cases drifting away from the path of love andunderstanding. There are many whose vibratory rate at this time issufficiently high for them to travel with no difficulty into the density ofvibration that this planet is shortly to experience.

    At some time in the future, then, something that the Confederation has calledthe harvest will take place. This concept of the Judgment Day differs from theeschatological one in that the one who judges us is not a God apart from usbut the God within us. As a result of this harvest some will go on to a new ageof love and light and will learn new lessons in a very positive and beautifuldensity, as the Confederation calls it. Others will have to repeat this particular

    grade of lessons
